No Longer BUSTED!

Hello

If you haven't guessed from my post title what today's post is about then maybe you're too young to know about these guys or you just didn't care for them or pay attention, but on 10th of November an announcement was made, an announcement that had the teenager within me screaming with delight; BUSTED were reuniting. It's been 10 years since my teen world crumbled when it was announced that Charlie had left Busted and the band were splitting up, an announcement that left myself and my friend Nichola feeling slightly guilty of telling Charlie that Fightstar were amazing, before I continue if your new to these 3 amazing and talented guys then let me give you a brief background.

BUSTED are classed as a pop rock band from Southend-on-Sea in Essex, formed in 2000 with James Bourne, Matt Willis, Ki Fitzgerald & Owen Doyle by late 2000 Fitzgerald & Doyle were no longer in the group, a successful audition saw Tom Fletcher join the BUSTED line-up along with Charlie Simpson but with management preferring a three member line-up Tom was removed from the group but kept on to write songs and help audition another male group to be known as V, if you know who Tom Fletcher is you know that his journey didn't end there and he became part of a little well known group called McFly who have not long since celebrated their 10 years in the industry (I've followed them for 10 years I feel so old). September 2002 saw BUSTED release their first single What I Go To School For reaching number 3 in the UK charts, their album was then released with mixed reviews with 2 more singles to follow: Year 3000 (in at number 2) and You Said No (claiming the number 1 spot), their debut album was re released and sold 1.2million copied by the end of the year. The summer of 2003 saw BUSTED release their lead single Crashed The Wedding for their second album A Present For Everyone. Through the groups active years they performed on two sell-out arena tours, with January 2005 it was announced that Charlie had left the group and the group were splitting up.

Charlie started full time with Fightstar and later went onto release his own solo album in 2011.

James started another group called Son of Dork but is now pursuing a solo career under the name Future Boy.

Matt after a short stint in rehab returned with a solo career and then after his 2006 title of King of the Jungle after winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here he turned his hand to presenting.

Then 2013 saw James & Matt join McFly for McFly's 10th anniversary concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and then was formed the super group McBUSTED, McBUSTED embarked on two sell-out tours during 2013 and 2014 with also the release of a McBUSTED album.

Now the news that has made my year after stating that he would NEVER (never say never Charlie) rejoin BUSTED the announcement came that a 3 member BUSTED would embark on a reunion tour, that's right James, Matt & CHARLIE would be returning and embarking on a ten-date arena tour, a tour that sold 100,000 tickets within the first hour of release, extra dates have since been added due to high demand and popularity.

If you haven't guessed I will be seeing these 3 guys on tour in May next year with 3 other people that I had the joy of experiencing their first tour with and I honestly can't wait to see them together again and relive the old and experience the new, I don't know what I'm more excited for seeing BUSTED back on stage together, seeing Charlie back or seeing James in his pure excitement for being back as a member of BUSTED.

There's obviously songs that BUSTED fans are excited to see them perform again and I'm no different, check out my list below:
